King's Back

When Jackson went back to the building, he saw the whole building went dark. And the gate had been locked.

Then, he heard a faint sound from upstairs, which was so weak that it was impossible for normal people to notice.

“Someone is going upstairs?”

Jackson frowned and he thought that it might be another assassin. Then he lunged forward and leaped high on the ground. Then he soared in the air and he managed to grab the frame of the window on second floor.

Then he pulled himself into the window. His action was so smooth and incredible that someone else might deem it as stunt.

When Jackson jumped into the building, he could hear the faint sound again from the corridor. He could tell from the faint sound that the assassin might have reached a high floor.

As the electricity supply had been cut off, the elevator was disabled. So he could only go up with stairs.

At the same time, Dolcie suddenly noticed that everything went dark in front of her. Only the light coming from outside the window could ease her nervousness a bit.

She actually had a foible in her daily life. She had a phobia against darkness. Even if when she needed to sleep, she would have to turn on a lamp on her bed side.

Even Jackson, who had been living with her for three years, was not aware of this secret of her.

Then Dolcie suddenly recalled that her secretary once told her that there would be an electrical maintenance at 9 o’clock in the evening. But she forgot about it because of her busy work.

The whole building was completely empty. Dolcie turned on the flashlight on her phone and started to walk out step by step.

The sounds of her high heels knocking on the ground kept echoing in the corridor. Dolcie felt her own heart beating faster and faster.

The dark end of the corridor looked like an abyss which seemed to drown her into the trap.

Dolcie swallowed hard while her heart almost jumped out of her throat. But her phone completely ran out of power at such critical moment.

She flopped down on the ground weakly.
